Kids nicknames

I do not give my babies nicknames and I feel calling their real names sound more respectful. I do not like other people to create a nickname for me, be it cute or not and I will do the same for my children. Up till now, my grandma still calling my mother "ah nong" (means little kids) and my mother's young siblings all still calling her the same nickname. I find it confusing and no respect but they already get upsed to the nickname already and thus I hold my belief that I should call my children in a proper way.
